St. George − COLOR COUNTRY COMMUNITY HOUSING, a local nonprofit developer, recently closed on approximately 2.5 acres at the bottom of 400 East, across from the Meadows Assisted Living Center.

It is investing more than $6 million in developing a project called the Village at Heritage Court that will consist of 56 units of senior housing and will enhance the affordable housing options for seniors in the St. George area.

This will be the first project of its kind in Southern Utah and will be a beautiful architectural addition to the multifamily market. The project couldn’t have come together without the cooperation of ST. GEORGE CITY, UTAH HOUSING CORPORATION, ZIONS BANK, THE OLENE WALKER HOUSING LOAN FUND and the seller.

NAI UTAH SOUTHERN REGION represented both the buyer, Color Country Community Housing, and the seller, GRANDVIEW MOBILE HOME ESTATES, in the transaction.
